Aquaponics is a system of raising food that combines the raising of fish and plants in a symbiotic relationship that through balance creates a thriving atmosphere for both. In plan terms, in an aquaponic system, the water from the fish tank is piped to the plants, letting them convert the fish excretions to nutrients to feed on, and the cleansed water is then returned to the fish tank. The system needed to do so is not overly complex, but it is not idiot simple either. It falls in between, as needing moderate skills, but I think anyone could learn it if they really set their mind to it.
One such system was designed by Travis W. Hughey. He calls his "Barrel-Ponics" because he utilizes barrels as the building blocks of the system. Travis has freely given away this design in the hopes that it helps people become more self sufficient and healthy. I salute him for his generosity. (for conditions of use, see below)
The entire instruction guide is available in the link below. It is in PDF format.
